Description

A vulnerability in the Ethernet packet handling of Cisco Aironet Access Points (APs) Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting as a wired client to the Ethernet interface of an affected device and sending a series of specific packets within a short time frame. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a NULL pointer access that results in a reload of the affected device.

Affected configurations

• cisco wireless lan controller (>= 8.6 < 8.10.105.0) • cisco business access points (>= 10.0 < 10.1.1.0) • cisco access points (< 16.12.4a) • cisco aironet access point software 8.10\(1.255\)
